Numerical study of dust lifting in a channel with vertical obstacles
In the paper, several results of numerical computation of multiphase flows in a channel with complex geometry are considered. The objective of the research was to study the dust lifting process from a layer behind a shock wave in a rectangular channel with vertical obstacles in the upper part of the tube. It is to be shown that that kind and also any sort of geometry may crucially change the whole phenomena of dust enhancement and of combustion. This is very important for safety in, for example, coal mines where channels are usually of more sophisticated structure than is usually assumed by most researchers.
